Solar Farming in Tiverton

Solar & farming around Tiverton

Tiverton, in Devon, sits within South West England — a part of the country shaped by generations of farming across pasture, moorland fringe and rolling West Country farmland. Like much of the region, the land around Tiverton has long been worked for arable and livestock, and that agricultural character still defines the countryside beyond the town today.

It is exactly this kind of farmland that makes Tiverton and its surrounding parishes well suited to solar farming. Open fields, established field boundaries and a working relationship with the land mean that, where grid capacity allows, solar farms and agrivoltaic schemes can sit comfortably alongside continued agriculture — adding a stable income without taking the land out of the farming community.
